Hello Sara,
I recently finished Pax and Pax: Journey Home, and fell in love with it. I'm currently writing my own prequel, and I'd like to see if I can get in contact with you for advice, and maybe eventually publishing rights.

Dear Ms.Pennypacker I can't express how much the book ''here in the Real World'' helped me open my eyes and see this place in a different way I loved the book so much and use it to reflect every day and it also made me look at chip-nutz differently. thank you ms. Pennypacker, I shed tears, Ms. Pennypacker,
I hope this message finds you in good spirits. I wanted to take a moment to share how profoundly your book, "Here in the Real World," has impacted me. From the very first page, I was drawn into a world that felt so vivid and alive, where every character pulsed with authenticity and every scene shimmered with rich, resonant meaning.
Your storytelling has opened my eyes to new perspectives, helping me savor the beauty of everyday life's smallest details. I used to rush through my days, often overlooking the vibrant wonders around me. Now, thanks to your insightful prose, I find myself pausing to appreciate the simple yet profound moments—a child's infectious laughter filling the air, the soft rustle of leaves dancing in the breeze, or the comforting warmth of a friend's genuine smile. Your words have encouraged me to embrace these sensory experiences with a newfound depth of appreciation.
Each day, I find myself reflecting on the profound themes woven throughout your book. Whether I'm tackling challenges at school or navigating the intricate dynamics of friendship, the lessons you've imparted resonate deeply within me. I often revisit specific passages that stirred my emotions or sparked my thoughts, each time uncovering new insights that linger like the echoes of a favorite song.
As I write this message, I can feel the tears welling up again, warm and salty against my cheeks, a testament to the emotional journey I experienced while reading your work. Your ability to craft such poignant narratives is a true gift, capturing not just the essence of your characters but also their heartbeat, their joys, and their sorrows.
Thank you, Ms. Pennypacker, from the bottom of my heart. Your storytelling has left an indelible mark on my life, and I carry your lessons with me every day, like a cherished melody that brings comfort and clarity.
Warmest regards,
Arabella.Omotosho |

We just read your book, Clementine at school. We absolutely loved it! It was very funny and entertaining. We’re about to read your next book, The Talented Clementine. If you ever think of writing another book about clementine here are some ideas. You could write another book about the perspective of another character. Also, you could write a book about Clementine’s younger brother. (We don’t know his real name) Our last idea is another book called Clementine On Vacation, where Clementine gets lost on an island resort. We would appreciate it if you’d consider any of our ideas. If possible please write back. |

Dear Ms. Pennypacker,
I hope this message finds you well. I recently read Pax and was deeply moved by its profound themes and the emotional depth of your writing. Your portrayal of the complexities of war, human nature, and the bonds between humans and animals was truly thought-provoking.
One particular sentence caught my attention: "A human feigning indifference to a mate she has chosen." Given the broader context of Pax, especially Grey’s criticism of humans and their false-acting during wartime, I was intrigued by your choice of “she” rather than the traditionally neutral “he” in this sentence.
I wonder whether this was a conscious decision to amplify the critique—perhaps drawing on gendered expectations of emotional restraint, or even subverting the default masculine pronoun to add a layer of irony and complexity. The use of "she" seems to intensify the impact of the statement, making the false indifference even more striking.
As a reader who appreciates both literature and linguistic nuance, I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Whether or not a response is possible, I am grateful for your work, which has given me so much to reflect on.
With warm regards,
Julie |
